This is week is a major step in the Jetbrains PHP world, yes PHPstorm 7 is out and full of awesomeness.
So before I install phpstorm 7, I want to completely remove the previous phpstorm 6 on my Mac OS X 10.8. Here are the steps I did:

Make sure you disable or uninstall any 3rd party (not-bundled) plugins you used

Delete PHPStorm in /Applications/{phpstorm}

Remove all the configs and related settings in affected places by running the following commands:

A Note:
For me, my previous version was v6.0.3 and hence I have WebIde60. So before you run the commands, just do a #cd “$HOME/Library/Caches/” and look for WebIde & note the whole name and version; e.g for version 7, it’s WebIde70

If you install PHPStorm 7.0 before uninstalling 6, it will import your preferences and site setups. I dread to think of the work that would be involved in getting 7 back to the configured level I had 6 at (including all the Drupal code hinting etc)
